In the UK, the cinema is very popular and a lot of young people go there. But, I what types of film do they watch?
Jack, 14
I love going to the cinema because there are always eight films on at our local cinema complex, and it’s really modern. The ice cream is fantastic and there’s great popcorn and other snacks. I go with my friends every Friday. We all like science fiction films with action and suspense. We are also great fans of special effects, so we love films like Avatar and Transformers.
Katie, 13
I don’t like horror films or science fiction films but I love romantic comedies. One of my favorite films is The Proposal. It’s about a woman who decides to marry her assistant, but they’re not really in love. His family, in Alaska, try to organize a traditional wedding ... it’s very funny. In the end, they fall in love, of course. I don’t go to the cinema much, because there isn’t a cinema near me. I watch films on DVD a few months later
